Experiment with Cows,

On the Wisconsin Agricultural college
farm six cows were kept, three by pastur-
ing and three by soiling. Professor Henry
reports the result: There was gained a
product Of 1, 10 pounds of milk from one
acre of pasture, producing 50 pounds of
butter, while one acre in soiling crop gave
4,7S2 pounds of milk, which made 1876
pounds Of butter. The pasture was one
of the best blue grass pastures, capable of
carrying a cow per acre the season
through, under favorable weather con-
ditiOnS.

ASH SITTER.

these cross wires on one side make slot in
the barrel large enough for a handle, which
is an inch through and fastened to the top
edges of the sieve, notches having been
first made in the handle to fit the sieve.
Provide a cover, and the sitter is ready
for use. After placing the ashes in the
sieve put on the cover, and by means of
the handle shake briskly back and forth.
There will be little or no dust in the oper-
alton.

A Thoroughbred Cow.

The presence of any thoroughbred cow
in herd, says American Dairyman, has
most remarkable effect upon the owner.
She is the first one he concerns himself
about when the herd is looked up. She
gets all the petting and the extra bits of
grass. The wife sets that cows milk separ-
ate to use in the family, and when the COW
has new calf everybody goes out to look
at it. Such COW has refining infiu-
ence in the family, and every family and
every farmer should have one in his herd.

A Warm Bath.

For ninety-nine persons out of every hum
dred the best time for warm bath is at
night Immediately before retiring. The re-
laxing of the system in warm bath opens
the body for cold, and not a few serious re-
suits are brought about by undue exposure
after the bath. An excess of bathing, even
in summer. is more or less facilitating and
therefore ought to be avoided by persons of
delicate health.

Farm Acreage and Farm Values.

Statstician Dodge, in his report on ag-
rculturGl statistics, makes it appear
that the farm area of the United States
has nearly doubled in thirty years, in
crcasing from 203, $50, GA to 53G, 0Sl, e35
acres. During the first ten years the tax
ing up of government lands in the west
and south and the state lands of Texas
was active The most fertile areas, little
encroached upon in the newer settle
ments, were taken possession of with a
certainty of appreciation in value that
added intensity to the pursuit of homes
obtainable at insignificant prices. The
absolutely free homestead had not ut that
time been guaranteed by law. In the next
decade the disturbing element of the civil
war prevented aggregate increase, the
states within the theatre of actual warfare
declining in area, some farms being aban-
doned and hence not counted rs farms.
At the same time many of the western
states showed considerable increase
Kansas, for instance, with 1, 778, 400 acres
in 1860, had 1866, $40 in 1870.
Between 1870 and 1880 the new lands
taken into the farm area exceeded 1885,
600, 900 acres. OF this no less than 49,

How Much Pork from Buslel of Corn !?

y
The question, How much pork may be
made from bushel of corn? is an import
ant one, but it has never been answered
beyond all controversy. In most cases
recorded as tests of the matter the corn
was fed in mixed state, with roots, DO
tatoes, etc, all of which make it difficult
to arrive at q definite conclusion. Thomas
l. Edge, Cheshire county, Pa, was
credited some years ago with having fed
five pigs, of the same litter five bushels
of shelled corn and receiving II ga pounds
Of pork. or 8 3-5 pounds from the bushel
An experiment at North Chatham, N. Y,
on record, gave u fraction of less than 12
pounds of pork from bushel of corn.
Eleven records, kept and recorded by F.
d. Coburn, of raw corn fed in the ear.
gave an average of over 10 pounds of
pork from one bushel Of corn. fed in the
